@lollolmanVM couldn't sheepshaver run up to mac os 9.0.4? it clearly says you have to use QEMU to use the developer previews. maybe pearpc could work but it has no longer been touched since 2015. possibly being abandonned.

You can do DP4 if you set the installation media to boot from a hard disk instead of a CD-ROM. DP1 isn't possible at all though because it uses a version of Mac OS (8.6) that QEMU doesn't support.

What is the QEMU config to run this? I keep trying to load DP1 but it says the device is not supported.

QEMU doesn't support Mac OS 8.6 interfaces.

I already knew that a long time ago. UbuntuXP has managed to accomplish installing DP1 though on Emaculation using a lot more prom-envs. However, if you try to load to install DP1 on Mac OS 9 it'll just hang checking disks. It's clearly impossible on Windows hosts too.

Yeah, I was basing my instructions on what I remembered doing months ago on Linux (which may explain why it won't work on Windows). Honestly, the hardest part was trying to figure out how to get DP1 installed (my earliest attempts involved a DP2 installation to get it installed, since the packages were compatible).

Anyways, here's a screenshot to prove it (blanked out some parts of the status bar for privacy reasons):

I tried QEMU, most of the CDs fails or crashes on boot.

If you install QEMU 4.0,you don't have any problems.(I also had the same problem when I was using Ubuntu 16.04)

I have already long found a way to install all the DPs besides DP1, for obvious reasons.
